One can choose from many travel insurance policies from travel agencies, insurance companies, and online providers. Still, one must shop around and compare to get the best coverage you need while fitting into your budget. Make sure to read your policy's restrictions, as many policies have rules based on age, destination, or type of trip. Here is the primary coverage our client must have during their trip :

• Alpinism 
  Trekking over an altitude of 3500m is considered an extreme adventure. So let your insurance company know about the max altitude you will accomplish during your trek to ensure you get its coverage.
  
  
• Emergency Helicopter Evacuation
  As most hiking and trekking site in Nepal falls under the rocky and harsh geographical terrain, access and healthcare are minimal. So during any medical or physical emergency, your insurance must cover helicopter rescue, which will be initiated only after approval from your insurance company.
  
  
• Emergency Medical Treatment
  We will take you to the nearest hospital or transfer you to the city hospital during emergencies. The hospitals will directly contact your insurance company to settle the bills.
  
  
• Flight Cancellation or No-Show
  Missing the flight or flight cancellation can adversely affect your planned vacation. Especially in the Himalayan region, the weather is very unpredictable, and the chances of flight cancellations are high. So insurance against flight cancellation or no-show can be very helpful to have a relaxing vacation.

Besides these, there is insurance coverage against theft, trip cancellation, baggage loss, and many more, so make sure to browse around to get the best option that fits you.
